The Crimson King is the most popular red-leafed Norway. It has a rounded shape and is a relatively slow grower that tolerates hot, dry conditions and polluted air. Not only does this well formed, symmetrical tree provide cooling summer shade, it also produces stunning crimson foliage. Growing 12 to 18 inches per year, it forms a thick, rounded head and is very hardy.
